The Tandoor is a vat-shaped clay oven that originated from the Punjab but is now common to most regions of the Indian Sub-continent. The heat inside the oven builds up to such high temperatures that the skewered chicken or lamb, placed within the Tandoor,

cooks in a matter of minutes, but more importantly retains the natural juice and the flavours of the chosen marinade. The result is that Tandoori dishes are full of flavour

and low in fat as there is little or no oil used in the cooking process. Tandoori dishes are a spectacularly delicious and healthy way to enjoy Indian cooking.
